Hi,
We are a VAR as well as an ISP. We starting selling computers in 1994...
and I can tell you now that if you are using the same brand parts as
Dell or Gateway, there is no way you can build it cheaper. We only sell
to commercial accounts now, and we tell them upfront that we are more
expensive.

Have you seen Dell's Educational pricing? No Bargains there. It is
more of a profit center than anything.
I do have to agree that building your own computers are not always a
good idea. It may seem cheaper initially but your time and headaches
have to count for something.
Been there, done that for wayyy too long.

My guess is they are going to save less than $50 per computer, if any
savings at all... and after they build them it will end up costing
them more money in the long run (RMAs, tracking all the parts, etc.).
I would bet Dell or Gateway could match or beat any price you can
get, assuming equal quality parts.

I'm not aware of any rules. The parts are supposed to be fcc
approved already. You just assemble them and load the os.
I can't believe that you can't get a good deal from anyone on a
200pc purchase.

Subject: [WISPA] NWR:rules for building your own computer
Does anyone know what the rules/hoops to get FCC approval to build
your own
computers? I am on our local High School Board and prices we are
getting for
200 computers is a lot higher than the parts to build them and the
committee
discussed doing it in house. We think it is a simple form listing
all the
parts, but do not know for sure. Any help/information would be
appreciated.
Thanks!
